363 Halloween Date
Gu Jiaer silently put up the menu and covered her face. She was also embarrassed.
"Am I right? This is to set the stage in advance for a date with Lu Man?"
Lingzhi took another look at the receipt on the table. When she thought that the purpose of this meal was planned by her best friend for her stinky man, and then looked at the final amount of the receipt, Lingzhi felt suffocated.
"Jia'er, what's wrong with you?"
Lingzhi was simply convinced: "If you want to go on a date with him, just come here once. With the price range here, how can the taste be bad?"
"He has been very busy and tired recently."
Gu Jiaer's voice came from behind the menu.
"When I went out to dinner with him before, we would always get into trouble a few times over trivial matters such as where to go to eat, what dishes to order, and so on."
She lowered her head: "I'm afraid something might go wrong this time, and it might ruin his mood - I just want him to simply relax."
"this……"
Lingzhi was dumb for two seconds, and then said: "That's not what you did. I haven't heard of any girl who would check out the restaurant and try it out before going on a date with a boy."
"Tomorrow will be different, Lingzhi." Gu Jiaer whispered, "Now his mind is on that game project. If you go to ask him out without any reason, you might not be able to make a date... Tomorrow is Halloween, and I want to celebrate the holiday with him.
If you take it as a reason to relax once in a while, he should agree, right?"
"He doesn't agree? I'll blow his head off." Lingzhi raised her eyebrows, "If he doesn't come, then all your efforts in tasting today will be in vain!"
"Not just today..." Gu Jiaer whispered even more.
"Huh?" Lingzhi was stunned.
Gu Jiaer's eyes blinked and slowly appeared from behind the menu.
"I also treated Ling Yi to two meals yesterday, at Huaiyang Restaurant for lunch and at the seafood buffet where Ling Yi was so full in the evening..."
Lingzhi propped up her cheeks and looked at Gu Jiaer across from her speechlessly.
This bestie, the stupidity of love has taken over the high ground of IQ.
"You want him to relax?" Lingzhi said venomously, "Isn't this simple? As for inviting him to eat and drink? Get him a card and have the girl from the foot bath center massage him for two hours to make sure his fatigue is gone -"
"Lingzhi!"
Gu Jiaer's tone became anxious: "Spit out today's meal! I bribed you in vain!"
"No, Jia'er." Lingzhi reminded her, "If you and Lu Man were still lovers, the best I can say is that it's rare for you to be attentive."
"But, what is your relationship now? Ex-boyfriends should stay as far away from each other as possible. Which girl would be so obsessed with her ex-boyfriend?"
Lingzhi endured the strong desire to leak the secret: What's more...
What's more, not only Jia'er, but also Lingyi was involved in this strange whirlpool.
She didn't want Gu Jiaer to sink in without a clear mind.
"Lingzhi~ You can clearly see it."
Gu Jiaer buried her little head and spoke with a hint of shyness and timidity: "If everything goes well, I still want to replace the word 'former' with the word 'now'..."
Although Lingzhi knew what her best friend was thinking, when she heard that Jia'er, who had always been arrogant and inconsistent, now admitted it in person, she was immediately shocked.
"It's hard to do, it's really hard to do..."
…
The next day, October 31st is Halloween.
Lu Man was in the living room of Gu Lingyi's room, checking the time on the wall clock every two minutes.
Gu Lingyi and Lingzhi, two girls crowded on the same sofa. Lu Man looked at them: "Did Jia'er tell you what she was doing on it?"
"Don't even think about it?" Lingzhi said lazily, "It must be picking out clothes and putting on makeup."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Lu Man shrugged, it was fast this time, only ten minutes late.
He opened the door for Gu Jiaer, and the girl with an orange jack-o-lantern hat on her head came into his eyes.
"elder brother."
Gu Jiaer said hello with a smile and took two steps on the spot: "This outfit is okay~"
Milky brown turtleneck sweater, light camel woolen jacket, tea brown knitted skirt, black pantyhose, paired with dark caramel colored pointed-toe soft-soled shoes.
It can be seen that this girl has really done a good job in coordinating the color system with her outfit tonight.
Not only does it give him a soft and innocent feeling, but the brown color all over her body perfectly sets off her Halloween jack-o'-lantern hat.
At this moment, the fluffy pumpkin was grinning with small fangs, and its dark blue light hole "eyes" seemed to be glaring fiercely at Lu Man.
"The hat is very nice."
Lu Man wanted to reach out and pat this funny little festive hat.
In addition, Lu Man's eyes stayed on the sweater Gu Jiaer was wearing for two seconds.
If we follow the obsessive-compulsive disorder that the twin sisters shared before their rebirth, and they dress carefully for such an occasion, after going shopping with them outside, and then taking them off when they get home, the underwear inside will most likely be of the same color...
"Ahem, I'm overthinking this. This is my sister-in-law, not classmate Lingyi. Stop talking, stop, stop..." Lu Man hurriedly shook off the scum and dangerous associations.
"Didn't you prepare a hat for Lingyi...and Lingzhi?"
"This is a hat I bought last year. Lingyi found it when she was packing the wardrobe at home, so I snatched it and stuffed it in my suitcase."
Gu Jiaer approached Lu Man and said, "We can go shopping in the evening and pick out another one for each of them."
After dinner, do you still want to go shopping with your ex-girlfriend’s sister-in-law? Lu Man really wanted to slap himself at this time...
"Stay out."
Lu Man started laughing: "How about eating hot pot at Lingyi's place? There are slices of shabu-shabu and shrimp paste. She has two bags of butter pot bottoms hidden in the cupboard -"
Lingzhi rolled his eyes angrily. He felt quite familiar with the things in Lingyi's house...
"No! Brother."
"No! Brother."
Two crisp voices spoke in unison.
Gu Lingyi and Gu Jiaer looked at each other in confusion, and then Gu Jiaer thought that her sister was "assisting" her and gave Gu Lingyi a grateful look.
Gu Lingyi, who looked aggrieved, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Man's sleeve: "Brother, you must accompany Jia'er to eat out today."
Lu Man really wanted to pinch this girl's ears and ask her, have you ever seen any sister who would recommend her brother-in-law to her sister-in-law for a date?
But seeing Gu Lingyi's determined eyes, Lu Man thought that there must be a reason for this, so he nodded to her, saying that he would definitely comply with what his future wife said.
"Let's go, brother~"
Watching Lu Man and Gu Jiaer go out, Gu Lingyi lay on the sofa and changed her sitting position several times within a minute, as if the cushion underneath was uncomfortable.
Lingzhi kept observing Gu Lingyi, but her best friend finally couldn't hold back anymore and ran to the window, lying on the stage and looking down.
Lingzhi also followed and saw from the window two figures walking side by side on the road in the community below.
The figure of a dancing girl, naturally Gu Jiaer, kept approaching Lu Man.
The other one was on a road full of traffic, sometimes hiding towards the roadside, and sometimes deliberately speeding up his pace.
Faintly, Lingzhi seemed to hear Gu Lingyi beside her, letting out a soft sigh of relief.
Until a car turned on its high beams and continued to speed without slowing down, and was about to pass by Gu Jia'er. Lu Man's figure reacted quickly, pulling Gu Jia'er to the innermost side of the road and protecting her sideways.
Gu Lingyi's subconscious protective behavior was seen from above. Her first reaction was a little thankful, but at the same time, her oval face also wrinkled.
"It turns out that the inner side of the road that dragged me along is not exclusive to me..."
